Active clinical trials for "Purpura"

A open-label, multi-center 2-year safety study to ascertain the baseline levels of bone marrow fibers in previously treated adults with chronic immune (idiopathic) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and to evaluate the long-term effect of eltrombopag on bone marrow fibers. The study will also describe the long-term safety and tolerability of oral eltrombopag treatment in subjects with chronic ITP.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fostamatinib Disodium is safe and effective in the treatment of Adult Refractory Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP).

This study will compare the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of standard treatment versus standard treatment plus MabThera in patients with ITP. The anticipated time on study treatment is <3 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

The main purpose of this study is to compare how one 50 mg tablet of SB-497115 is broken down in the body by healthy subjects versus subjects with mild, moderate or severe kidney problems. The study is also being done to 1) check on how well the study drug is tolerated by healthy subjects versus those with liver problems and 2) to check if liver impairment affects how the study drug binds to protein in the blood.

Idiopathic (immune) thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by platelet destruction and thrombocytopenia (peripheral blood platelet count < 150 x 10^9/L). IVIG therapy is useful in patients in whom the platelet count has to be raised either due to bleeding signs, or where bleeding is predicted (e.g., surgery or parturition). The primary goal of treatment is to maintain the platelet count at a hemostatic level. This study will test the safety and efficacy of IGIV3I Grifols 10% in the treatment of patients with chronic ITP.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AMG 531 (romiplostim), a novel thrombopoiesis-stimulating peptibody, and its effect on platelet counts in adults with immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of starting dose of AMG 531 as measured by platelet counts by cohort dose-escalation design.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of rADAMTS-13 (SHP655) administered in addition to standard of care (SoC) treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) participants.

Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common vasculitis in children, with an incidence of approximately 10:100 000 children and a slight male predominance (male-to-female ratio of 1.5:1). Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) is the principal cause of morbidity for HSP and 1%-7% of HSPN patients may progress to renal failure or end-stage renal disease. Immunosuppressive therapy has become the standard treatment in children with HSPN, however the use of these drugs are still mainly in an off-label manner in clinical practice. Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, has been recently suggested in the treatment of HSPN in children. However, the evidence-based clinical data are still limited. Given the potential benefits and unmet need in clinical practice, the purposes of this pilot study were to assess effectiveness and safety of tacrolimus in HSPN children and evaluate the potential impact of CYP3A5.

In this prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial investigators' aim was to compare the efficacy and the adverse effect of 3 therapy cycles of HD-DXM versus conventional treatment with PDN for untreated adult patients with ITP. In this study standardized criteria and definitions were used according to consensus international working group guideline for ITPto compare clinical outcomes of the two corticosteroid treatment regimens and determine the superior regimen as a first line strategy for new primary ITP in adults
